sending e-mail form !?HELP!
am 19.12.2007 04:29:18 von Majki MajkHi! I'm not managing to start this script. It's my first php script i'm
implementing. I'm not an php scripter, i am an html/css amater working on
society association.
I have apache server on my computer. I have inserted this php script into
my website folder which is emailform.php and the contact form part into
html/css document. But when trying to send e-mail on my computer to test the
script then a box for 'saving file' jumps out into the screen, so,....here
is the emailform.php script text. I think it's a bit long, but am not
competant to confirm that.

//This is a very simple PHP script that outputs the name of each bit of
information (that corresponds to the
name attribute for that field) along with the value that was sent with it right in the browser
window, and then sends it all to an email address (once you've added it to
the script).
if (empty($_POST)) {
print "
No data was submitted.
";print "";
exit();
}
//Creates function that removes magic escaping, if it's been applied, from
values and then removes extra newlines and returns to foil spammers. Thanks

function clear_user_input($value) {
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $value=stripslashes($value);
$value= str_replace( "\n", '', trim($value));
$value= str_replace( "\r", '', $value);
return $value;
}
if ($_POST['comments'] == 'Please share any comments you have here')
$_POST['comments'] = '';
//Create body of message by cleaning each field and then appending each name
and value to it
$body ="Here is the data that was submitted:\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$key = clear_user_input($key);
$value = clear_user_input($value);
if ($key=='extras') {
if (is_array($_POST['extras']) ){
$body .= "$key: ";
$counter =1;
foreach ($_POST['extras'] as $value) {
//Add comma and space until last element
if (sizeof($_POST['extras']) == $counter) {
$body .= "$value\n";
break;}
else {
$body .= "$value, ";
$counter += 1;
}
}
} else {
$body .= "$key: $value\n";
}
} else {
$body .= "$key: $value\n";
}
}
extract($_POST);
//removes newlines and returns from $email and $name so they can't smuggle
extra email addresses for spammers
$email = clear_user_input($email);
$name = clear_user_input($name);
//Create header that puts email in From box along with name in parentheses
and sends bcc to alternate address
$from='From: '. $email . "(" . $name . ")" . "\r\n" . 'Bcc:
youremail@yourdomain.com' . "\r\n";
//Creates intelligible subject line that also shows me where it came from
$subject = 'Bed Order from Web Site';
//Sends mail to me, with elements created above
mail ('youremail@yourdomain.com', $subject, $body, $from);
?>
Thanks for your order! We'll send your bed right away.
